Kant and German Idealism Postgraduate Workshop

Postgraduate workshop on Kant and German Idealism

At the University of Warwick, on 26th of June 2015; R3.41 Ramphal Building

In the contemporary literature the critique of Kant in German Idealism has again received increased attention. Especially Hegel's critique of Kant has been the subject of reconstructions in books such as Sally Sedgwick's “Hegel's Critique of Kant” or Bob Stern's “Hegel, Kant and the Structure of the Object”. Our postgraduate workshop is supposed to bring together the most recent and promising research by graduate students on Kant and his reception in German Idealism. In the course of a day we will discuss Kant as well as the revived criticisms of the German Idealists. A special focus will be on the theoretical philosophy of Kant and the ways in which German Idealists challenge it.
